The home

About this home

Conveniently situated in the very heart of Stratford, this spacious New Englander is your gateway to all the Great North Woods has to offer. Once home to the town fire and police facilities, the property boasts modern conveniences balanced with historic charm. Moving through the generously-sized mudroom, an updated kitchen guides you to the bright and open dining and living areas that feature beautiful hardwood floors and a wood stove for comfortable supplemental heat. Upstairs you’ll find two large bedrooms served by a renovated full bath, along with convenient laundry area that doubles as a private office space (also recently renovated). A roomy apartment on the ground level has its own private entrance as well as access from the main house, and has been thoughtfully updated with new flooring and kitchen, making it the perfect area for your guests to have their own space or as an income-producing rental (with separately metered electric, water & sewer). A vault formerly used by the Town of Stratford adds a historic and unique feature to this space! Beyond the apartment, the over-sized garage has interior access and plenty of room for your vehicle, toys, a workshop and abundant storage above (along with the old firehose tower). Outside, you’ll enjoy a private, fenced-in yard and patio in the back, along with raised garden beds, a variety of colorful seasonal blooms and mature blueberry bushes that produce more fruit than you can imagine! An enclosed porch overlooks the Stratford Library and picnic area with the Connecticut River and snowmobile trail just across the street. Come view the many updates and historic features of this property by scheduling your private showing today!
